I need to test your theory on this. Where is the best place to get them? (Yes I'm a cheap S.O.B.)

Thanks

I got mine from Mike Troyer. Normally I would have said go to Terry, but I don't know if he sells stuff anymore.

Just to clarify the Metco Lowers, helped install the very first set of them in GoRila.

Terry still can order them, he ordered a pair for my buddies truck (Unsane Wayne's old truck) also ordered and put on QA1's, Hotchkiss sway bars, front springs, Kooks long tubes

had the long bars but they would hit the exhaust, Metco uppers (stock height) and Metco lowers (lowered trucks) don’t have this problem

The only problem with the secret code is it almost looks as if Wes had a problem with some Metco's. If this is the case, I would like to know about it so I can keep an eye out for the same problem.

Now if you girls have some kind of pajama party shenanigans that your joking about, it would go into my who gives a sh!t file.

Apparently Metco is way behind. I am going on 5 weeks waiting for a set to come in. Bic's beast of a truck split the bushings in the control arms:icon_eek::bows.

How do these compare to a set of Mectos?

i don't like these i have on this truck . they seem to limit axle travel . relating to a rougher ride , and rattles and squeaks .

i guess when i get time i'll build another set just like the ones l have on my other L. this set up i run air bags also and it seems to have better ride quality.
